Chapter 722: When morale is low, it will be hard to lead the team!
Earth.
China.
Shelter in the center of Yongcheng.
"How's it going? Have you heard from Lu Li recently?"
Ao Zhan put his arms on the conference table, his burly body leaning forward slightly, looking eager.
Pan Xiaoxiao, who was walking towards the main seat, paused, shook his head and sighed:
"No."
"Not only has there been no news from Mr. Lu, but Li Luo, who went with us, has not responded either."
"Hiss, it's been almost nine months..." Ao Zhan took a breath, unable to hide the worry on his face:
"Xiaoxiao, could it be that Lu Li is already dead?"
As soon as this was said, there was silence in the conference room.
Yan Qi, who was sitting next to Ao Zhan, poked the honest leader with his elbow and reminded him in a low voice:
"Leader, it's impossible for Lu Li to die. His name is still at the top of three rankings..."
"If he had died, his name would have been taken down long ago."
"Oh, that's right, this kid is still riding on my head..." Ao Zhan laughed innocently as if he was reassured, then opened his data panel, clicked on the level ranking list and took another look.
Ranking first is still Lu Li, Level 88.
The same goes for the kill list.
"Although the person is still alive, no news has been sent back, which still makes people very worried..." Lin Tianxia, who was sitting next to Pan Xiaoxiao, said worriedly:
"It's been nine months... Even if I reply with one or two words..."
"Maybe it's not convenient to reply..." Pan Xiaoxiao thought uncertainly, but did not speak to answer the words of the Lin family leader.
As one of the maids who signed a contract with Lu Li, Pan Xiaoxiao had a deep understanding of what role she should play.
She could guess that the situation on Lu Li's end was probably not optimistic.
It's even possible that you're trapped somewhere.
But she couldn't show weakness and uncertainty.
Because doing that will not only not help the current situation, but may also lead to confusion.
Once the people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Whether it’s the Wan family or the Qian family,
It is still the Liu family who acts as a villain on the surface but is actually the most closely connected with the Lin family.
They all require the existence of Lu Li's sea-fixing needle.
The overall situation in China is now stabilizing, and a new order is gradually being established.
Don't let it collapse again!
With the thoughts in his mind firm again, Pan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and looked at the audience:
"Mr. Lu Li promised before leaving that he would return safe and sound."
"Everyone here has had some contact with Mr. Lu Li and knows the value of this promise."
"Instead of us here worrying unreasonably and worrying about situations that are simply impossible to happen, we should improve our efficiency and focus on this meeting."
"I think that when Mr. Lu Li comes back, he won't want to see the situation he finally created turn into a mess again."
As soon as these words came out, all the players in the conference room straightened up and looked seriously.
…
Jiangcheng.
Liu family refuge.
"Let's get here today and do our work."
Liu Wenjian retreated from the crowd, put his forehead with one hand, and leaned on the back of the chair.
This was his usual resting position after every meeting, so the other Liu family children didn't have any special reaction when they saw this.
But Liu Yi and Liu Ba, known as Liu Wenjian's right-hand man, looked at each other and saw the difference——
The number of fingers on his forehead increased from two to four.
There is a small meeting to be held.
The two of them did not leave the conference room with everyone, but pretended to sort out the information recorded on the data panel.
After everyone had left, he stood up from his seat and closed the conference room door.
Take out a few props that can isolate sound and light and shadow from the storage props, and temporarily seal the entire conference room.
Immediately afterwards, I used props with anti-concealment functions to investigate every corner.
After doing all this and checking that everything was correct, we returned to the conference table.
At this time, there were only three of them left in the conference room.
"What's wrong, Brother Wen Jian, is there news from Brother Lu Li?"
Liu Yi was the first to speak, his tone as relaxed as possible.
"No, it's because there's no news from Brother Lu Li." Liu Wenjian took his hand off his forehead and sighed softly.
The aura that belonged to the superior person quietly disappeared at this moment, and turned into deep fatigue and uneasiness.
"No news yet? It's been nine months..." Liu Ba smacked his lips and his eyes widened:
"There shouldn't be any accidents..."
"Bah, bah, bah!" Liu Yi grabbed the topic and raised his eyebrows:
"What nonsense are you talking about, old man? Hurry up and slap your own ears!"
"Hey, yes, I can't control my bad mouth all day long..." Liu Ba, who was used to quarreling with Liu Yi, didn't refute at all this time, and even slapped himself twice quickly.
"Okay, let's talk about business." Liu Wenjian stopped Liu Ba helplessly and said:
"The Lu family did not provide us with any more supplies this time... After being deceived for so long, they finally came to their senses."
"I guess it won't take long before the Lu family will take revenge on us!"
"Judging from our current comprehensive strength, as long as the Lu family doesn't go out in force and we can hold on for a while, there should be no problem."
"It stands to reason that the longer it is delayed, the better it will be for our Liu family, but..."
Speaking of this, Liu Wenjian paused, and the sadness on his face became more obvious.
Liu Hui vaguely guessed what Liu Wenjian was going to say next, and tentatively continued:
"But doing so will make the Liu family lose the initiative and fall into a passive position?"
"That's right." Liu Wenjian nodded solemnly:
"Now, there are two choices before us."
"First, pretend to know nothing and continue to play the "villain role" we played before;"
"Doing so can minimize the casualties and losses of the Liu family."
"Second, take the initiative to expose ourselves and provoke a war with the Lu family;"
"Doing so will increase our casualties Very big, there may be a risk of extinction. "
"Liu Hui, Liu Ba, which one do you think I should choose as the head of the Liu family?"
Liu Ba scratched his head and thought more directly: "No matter how you look at it, you should choose the first one, right? Well, but I'm stupid, so I'll listen to Brother Wenjian in the end!"
Liu Wenjian pouted and joked:
"Old Eight, you're lazy again."
Liu Hui pondered for a long time, looking at Liu Wenjian with complicated eyes:
"Brother Wenjian, you actually have the answer, right?"
Liu Wenjian raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and did not respond to Liu Hui.
Just repeated:
"Which one do you think I should choose as the head of the Liu family?"
Liu Hui's thin face showed fear and cowardice, and soon, it turned into cruelty and brutality.
The two contradictory expressions switched back and forth on his face, and finally disappeared and turned into calmness.
Liu Hui did not answer Liu Wenjian, but muttered to himself:
"The one-year agreement between Brother Lu Li and the Lu family is coming soon..."
"If we choose the first option, the Liu family can preserve its strength and minimize the losses. But the Lin family will bear great pressure;"
"If we choose the second option, the Liu family will suffer great losses, but it can attract a considerable amount of hatred for the Lin family;"
At this point, Liu Hui stopped talking, but raised his head and met Liu Wenjian's sight.
After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"Brother Wenjian, your position as the head of the family was given by Brother Lu Li, so I think you should choose the second option..."
"No, repaying a favor... You must choose the second option."
A smile suddenly appeared on Liu Wenjian's expressionless face.
He said in a relaxed tone:
"You are worthy of it, Lao Liu, I think so too."
"I have been submissive and submissive for twenty years, and it's time to be ruthless once..."
...
